The University of Washington College of Engineering is expanding in to the area known as West Campus. Urban design and master planning in groups formed a new urban campus for the College of Engineering. The proposed plan considered its connection to its physical context of the central campus to the east, retail to the north, housing to the west, and portage bay to the south. The creation of a plaza connected by the Burke-Gilman Pedestrian Trail linked the new engineering buildings on the proposed West Campus, and also provided space for new housing and retail to create a combined HUB for the College of Engineering and the other uses in West Campus.The Energy Engineering Building is one of seven proposed engineering buildings. The site is located northeast of the intersection the Burke-Gilman Trail and Brooklyn Ave. Creating a streetwall on the Burke-Gilaman Trail was a zoning rule for the site that the master plan group had previously established.In new and existing energy production system, there is a circular motion around central source or core where the energy is produced. Some examples of this concept are the circular motion around nuclear fusion chamber, the core of nuclear fission reactor, the section and plan of the Large Hadron Collider, and the rotation of a wind turbine and water turbine. The concept of the building is the idea of a central energy core similar to the listed examples. In the vertical core is a visual display of different types of energy; exposed electrical and mechanical systems, circulation of people, displays with information from each lab, daylight reflecting down from above, and the social competition and collaboration between the different disciplines of the College of Energy Engineering.
